You should have an "Other" catagory. I take bits and pieces of rutines and combine them to make my own most of the time. Honestly I bet the majority of weight lifters do this and do not go strictly by any of these programs. Some of these programs I feel I'm missing certain bodyparts or they are not getting hit as hard as I would like them. Guess thats probably why I've never totally done any of these programs...maybe someday though who knows?

1 exercise per body part, 3 sets of same weight per exercise, 60 seconds between sets. Was doing 2 on 1 off but with all the treadmill, cardio kboxing and MA training I was getting a little exhausted. Switched up to 1 on 1 off for better recovery.

Some do a mon, wed, fri split with this but I like the 1 on 1 off. If I wasn't so active with cardio stuff I would stick to the 2 on 1 off with the B set first so the bi's are fresh for the isolation work. This way hits all muscles 3x every 8 days for lower volume increased frequency.

Really like the short rest between sets as it keeps the HR elevated nicely. Some opt for longer rest and increased resistance with each set but I have not tried that yet. I like getting in and out quick so I can get to the cardio. FWIW

You should really give this a try LCS..It is awesome, and it truly is alot harder then you would think...This particular program was based on a 5 second negative and explosive positive routine, but in another thread I saw Bobo saying anything over 3 second negative was pointless..

I use mainly HIT principles, hitting everything once in a 7 to 9 day period, depending on rest needs. My gains just start to diminish after a few weeks of working something more than once a week. I am still natural after all.

I've tried 5x5, Max-OT, among other programs. And I'm mostly through my first HST program. Overall I think HST is the best routine. I'm in the best shape (not necessarily the strongest) and feel the best on this program. I've also seen the best results from HST. Although I must say, 5x5s made me hella strong.

It amuses me that HST emphasizes there low volume per exercise effectiveness, yet you do 10 reps per set, for 2 sets. Do the math thats = 20 reps, so whats is the difference between doing 2 sets of 10 reps and 3 sets of 6-8 reps or 4 sets of 5 reps and I could go on. This just fortifies how over complicated lifting a ****ing weight has become. Ridiculous.
